Welcome to the Mouse Experimentation Core Facility at the Center for Colon Cancer Research - Your Animal Research Partner at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC

The Mouse Experimentation Core provides expertise and support in animal research projects that is customized to investigators' specific research needs at reasonable
prices. Whether it is mouse breeding, pilot projects, lab space and equipment for animal experiments, or customized experiments for your projects, you can rely on us to assist you in acquiring data
for your projects, publications, and grant submissions in a timely fashion.

About the Core

The Mouse Experimentation Core was established through a grant for the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence from the National Institutes of Health in support of
the animal research projects of the investigators of the Center for Colon Cancer Research. Over the years, we have expanded our services to meet the demands of investigators at the University
of South Carolina and beyond.

Overall Objectives

Our goal is to provide animal research support to the investigators of the Center for Colon Cancer Research, the University of South Carolina, and investigators and
entities outside of USC. We operate on the concept of a "lab away from lab" where investigators from across the USC campus and beyond, can conduct all aspects of animal experiments, from
breeding mouse colonies to performing animal experiments, collecting tissue specimens, and analying data from mouse experiments in a centralized location within the Animal Resource Facility. We
operate on the principle that we are the investigators' partners in the successful execution of animal experiments, and build on years of experience and on our network of collaborators across the USC
campus to facilitate the execution of animal experiments and the acquisition of quality data critical to investigators' projects, publications, and grant applications.
